The Naturally Infected Groups of Sheep With T.Ovis and B.Ovis showed A tendency of lower antibody responses in comparison with the uninfected group post vaccination,(PV).
Complete clinical recovery and improvements in the blood profile were obtained in the treated animals where the packed cell volume (PCV),the hemoglobin content (Hb) as well as the lymphocytic count were accentuated gradually to reach their normal values .
